TEKKON KINKREET’s Michael Arias Goes Live Action!

Posted by Todd Brown at 4:50pm.

Fresh off the international success of his animated feature Tekkon Kinkreet director Michael Arias is now poised to make his first foray into the world of live action features with a Japanese remake of German action-comedy Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door.  I’m a bit surprised by this move, honestly, but animation directors tend to do well in the live action world and while the first teaser shows very little to get excited about I am reasonably certain from the use of so much behind the scenes footage that there just isn’t very much completed footage from the film available to show yet, which makes it far too early to judge.  Beyond Arias’ involvement the key selling point here is that the script was adapted by Detroit Metal City scribe Omori Mika.

Check the first teaser out below the break in the Twitch Player.

    Tekkon Kinkreet was pretty amazing. I can’t wait to see if he can make the jump from animation to film properly.
